Pocket Hose Ballistic starts compact, expands up to 3X into a full-size 3/4-inch hose when water flows, and shrinks back down for quick, space-saving storage when you’re done. Built for tougher jobs, Ballistic features an anti-burst sleeve reinforced with a Liquid Crystal Polymer strand used in ballistic protective applications for added durability. The 360° Pocket Pivot swivel connector helps reduce twists and kinks at the spigot, while the 3-layer latex core, re-engineered thicker washers, stronger APT connector protectors, and UV-resistant coating help support lasting performance. Lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, Pocket Hose Ballistic is designed to make watering easier without the bulk and frustration of traditional hoses. Note: “Bulletproof” refers to the reinforcement fiber used in ballistic protective applications; the hose itself is not intended to stop bullets. IMPORTANT USE & PERFORMANCE NOTES **5X claim refers to Vectran® strand only, not entire hose or equal thickness. Disconnect sprinklers after the water is off—the hose may retract.
